This is so sad and depressing news to hear about Matthew he doesn’t need all of this negativity and drama in his own life to be struggling with his addiction and alcoholism ways he derives more then just happiness he derives more freedom and expecting himself for who he truly is as a person because he really derives to stay here because we all would be so devastated if he ever left but I couldn’t be so proud of him for hanging in there to get better
